Installation
process
installed into new or existing builds
and have been installed into Grade I, II*
and II listed buildings for numerous clients.
The installation process is very simple
and can be installed in a short space of
time. The difference will be instantly
noticeable and will improve the comfort
levels in your building.
Tphenomenon that affects all
buildings and results in a dramatic
phenomenon occurs when hot air rises
towards the ceiling or roof, as it is lighter
than the surrounding cool air. In contrast,
The main negative consequence of
Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC)
systems in your building will be working in
overdrive to maintain set temperatures at
HVAC systems which are constantly
overdelivering will be costing your
in performance and lost energy. There
will also be a negative impact on your
company’s carbon footprint.
Wasted heat will inevitably rise and
accumulate at the ceiling of your building,
(0.5ºC – 2ºC per metre on average).
Conversely, heavier cooled air which is
by sinking to low points in a building or
circulate areas.
What will Airius do?
To combat the problem of thermal
will balance internal temperatures,
by recycling the heated or cooled air
supplied or accumulated from people,
processes or solar gain, and circulating
temperatures fully throughout your
entire building.
Our systems will also
reduce the operation time and workload
required of heating and cooling systems.
The difference will be instantly
noticeable, improving not just comfort
levels in your building but also the
therefore maximising savings.

With any fan, the spinning blades induce
a rotational component into the air
stream causing turbulence and reduced
throw distance.
Airius’ patented multi-vane stator
technology transfers this rotational
energy to create an invisible column of air
(columnar laminar flow), increasing throw
distance. This is a standard feature on all
Airius ranges.
With the Airius systems’ patented multi-
vane stator technology, temperatures are
balanced to within 1°C - 2°C.

These are installed at ceiling
height, sending air to the floor in
a slow-moving column. This uses
low levels of power, pushing air
through a very small space.
Once it reaches floor level, the airflow blankets out in all directions before rising and
being recirculated through the fan. Ultra quiet with minimal air movement, ideal for
noise-sensitive environments. Savings on average between 20 - 50%, although higher
levels have been recorded (see Lush Cosmetics Case Study, page 23).

materials, level of insulation, activity in the
building, heating/cooling set points and
the outside temperature.
It is wrong to assume that if the level of
scale there is not much to be gained.
This can be down to a number of reasons,
such as:
• Insulation levels are so low, heat
escapes before it can build up. Our
best case studies have been from
buildings like this
• Outside temperature is at or above
room temperature
• The heating is off
When do you start saving?
Immediately! The moment the units
building and HVAC system will start to
improve, reaching their full potential once
equalisation is achieved (within 48 hours
depending on the size of the building).
How much can I expect to save on
heating?
Savings range hugely from building to
building with average savings of 30 –
50%. With over 100,000 units sold, we
have had reported savings ranging from
20% to 76%. This is down to a number of
factors, such as:
• Ceiling Height
• Insulation
• Achieving Temperature
• Levels of Process / Ambient heat
How does the Airius system work
with cooling?
The way Airius units work to reduce
cooling costs is slightly different to
heating. Typically in cooled spaces, people
near the cooling outlet are too cold and
those no more than a few metres away
are too hot. People by windows can also
get too hot due to solar gain and so on.
The Airius units help by equalising the
temperature making sure that everyone
possible. It also helps the cool air reach
thermostat set points quicker.
The Airius system also ensures that
every cubic metre of air in the building
is moving very slowly. This gentle air
movement across the skin creates a lower
perceived temperature (evaporative
cooling), allowing you to turn your
thermostat up by between 2ºC and 4ºC,
yet maintain the same conditions or
better for occupants.

First winter savings of
£62,251 measured against a total
system spend of £21,268!
““We installed 34 Airius units into the
assembly plant at our manufacturing site
and I am very pleased with the results.
The heating system now comes on far less
and employees who work in this building
are much warmer. Overall savings
equaled 45.07%.
The full cost of the Airius units is
recouped within a matter of months -
against a total system spend of £21,268!
I will be looking at other buildings on

19. The Airius fans made an
immediate ... improvement even
before the heating/cooling system
upgrades had been completed.““Following severe temperature problems
in a British Airways maintenance hangar
at Heathrow, we (Gratte Brothers) were
awarded the contract to upgrade the
heating and ventilation system.
The temperature problems were severe
with staff threatening to walk out. After
exhaustive research it was decided to
install 12 x Airius Model 100 units and
15 x Airius Model 60 units to improve
internal air circulation and reduce the
extremely high heating and cooling costs.
The Airius fans made an immediate and
heating/cooling system upgrades had been
completed.
All complaints from staff ceased
immediately and they were now
comfortable enough to work in their
t-shirts. The team at Airius were really
helpful and a pleasure to work with.
We will be tendering for further British
Airways projects of this type and fully
expect to purchase more Airius units.”
Joe Forgie – Project Manager – Gratte Brothers Group
The Airius units have reduced
our heating costs by an impressive
25% in our sports hall.
““We installed the Airius system into 2
sports halls and the swimming pool area at
Sixmile Leisure Centre, Newtownabbey.
These have made a vast improvement
to the internal atmosphere within the
buildings and the public who use the
improved for sporting activities.
We have found the Airius units have
reduced our heating costs by an impressive
25% in our sports halls and swimming pool
area; the thermostat in the swimming pool
building has also been turned down 2°C!
The heating systems come on much less
often and the complaints from swimmers
about the warmth in the swimming pool
area has reduced by 90%.”

We originally controlled the temperature
with large AC units but the result was
never satisfactory at either level.
The Airius system was installed during the
summer whilst the AC system was closed
down for servicing and we were happy to
the AC running. This has now led to the
entire AC system being decommissioned
with a considerable reduction in
electricity consumption.”

Impress installed 34 Airius fan units
into their factory to save on heating costs and their
investment was repaid 3 times over in the first
winter they were installed.
Oil prices dropped by an average of 9.5% in 08/09
compared to the previous winter period 07/08.
The mean temperature for East Anglia during winter
07/08 was 5.7°C. The mean temperature for East
Anglia during winter 08/09 was much cooler at 3.4°C.
The heating system thermostats are set to 16°C,
resulting in an increase in the requirement for heating
in East Anglia of 22%.
This analysis excludes the purchase and installation
costs of £21,268 in the first year.

Lush Retail Ltd needed to improve internal
conditions at their Hatch Pond Road manufacturing
facility in Poole, Dorset. Temperatures at floor level
were uncomfortably cold as their heating system was
unable to reach acceptable conditions.
This also incurred high energy costs as the heating
system was running constantly in an attempt to reach
set parameters.
Lush Retail Ltd contacted Airius in 2012 in order to
address the uncomfortable low temperatures and
expensive costs for heating at each of their
manufacturing facilities.
The Hatch Pond Road manufacturing facility was
chosen as a trial site due to its high heating costs and
major comfort issues. Originally it was estimated that
this site would benefit from a minimum energy saving
of 35%. However a far greater saving was achieved of
over 60% following installation of the Airius system.

Gama Aviation Ltd have two large heating units
in their main engineering hangar at Farnborough
Airport, which would run continuously throughout
the day and never reach the thermostat set point of
14°C. Following installation of the Airius system their
HVAC system would achieve the thermostat set point
with only one of the two heating units running.
Once at the temperature set point, the Airius
system would then continue to maintain the desired
conditions with only the one remaining heating unit
running intermittently.
In September and October of 2012 (PRE AIRIUS) the
heating gas consumption was 2,356m³. In September
and October of 2013 (POST AIRIUS) the heating gas
consumption was 1,042.3m³.
